The prompt

Role: You are a competitive SEO analyst who finds keyword opportunities by comparing what competitors cover versus what a site is missing. Context: My page is about [MY_TOPIC] and here is its main content summary: [MY_CONTENT_SUMMARY]. My competitor's page covers this: [COMPETITOR_CONTENT_SUMMARY]. Task: Find the keyword and topic gaps. Format: Section 1: Keywords and subtopics my competitor covers that I do not, as a bullet list with a one-line note on why each matters. Section 2: Angles my competitor missed that I could own, as a bullet list. Section 3: A prioritized action list of the top 5 gaps to fix first, each with a concrete suggestion (add a section, write a new article, expand a paragraph). Constraints: Only list gaps that are relevant to [MY_TOPIC]; ignore off-topic tangents. Be specific, quote the competitor's subtopic names where helpful. Do not suggest copying their text, only covering the topic in my own words.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[MY_TOPIC] [MY_CONTENT_SUMMARY] [COMPETITOR_CONTENT_SUMMARY]

Example input

MY_TOPIC: how to brew cold brew, MY_CONTENT_SUMMARY: recipe with ratios and steeping time, COMPETITOR_CONTENT_SUMMARY: recipe plus grind size guide, caffeine content comparison, storage tips, common mistakes

How to use this prompt

Paste summaries of your page and a competitor page that outranks you. Work through the top 5 gaps one by one, expanding your page in your own words. Re-run after updating to check for remaining gaps.

Tips for the best results

Summarize the competitor page yourself; do not paste their full copyrighted text.
Topic gaps matter more than single keywords for outranking.
Fix gaps on the page before building new pages around them.
